SPRING FORWARD SALE: If you like Dr. Robert Thornton’s Temple of Flora botanicals, now’s your chance to get one for 30% off through 4/15/16. The hand-colored prints were published in London from 1799 to 1807. Thornton departed from previous botanical works in illustrating the plants to appear oversized relative the backgrounds, giving them a dramatic or even surreal appearance, which appeals to contemporary tastes.
